[Milsurplus] R-390 vs R-390A

[Don Reaves W5OR]

Bruce, come over to the R-390 list and ask that question.  You are bound to
get dozens of opinions.  The short answer is choose the non-A for AM, the A
for SSB.  There is a simple mod to the R-390A that increases the BFO level
and makes SSB quite pleasant.

My answer is you need one of each.  Or two.
